Thanks to our friends participating in our January Holocaust Survivors’ event, the Lod Senior Center cooking/baking club is now in preparation to begin. You can see some of the center’s members in the picture during Jo Kaplan’s visit to hand over a check of the donations raised. With these funds they are planning on purchasing the following types of items: hand mixers cutting boards a small gas stove a food processor bowls, rolling pins, strainers mixing spoons, spatulas, ladles, tongs, etc. peelers, whisks, measuring cups/spoons, etc. cooking mitts and aprons A cookbook is being created of all the recipes that they remembered. Such memories this will bring back for them. Thank you for making this cooking/baking club possible! What a blessing for these Holocaust Survivors!
With Purim three-day holiday beginning March 2, Israel Relief Aid is going back to the Ben Shemen Youth Village to help sponsor a Purim party to bring joy to 400 teenage placed kids/orphans. Why does the youth village need help for something as important as a holiday celebration? It turns out that while the government does cover basic needs like daily meals, such daily meals are not holiday-oriented. So, when a holiday comes, they have no budget for that. Israel Relief Aid is so excited to make sure these kids aren’t left out of a holiday that the whole country will celebrate. With your help, there will be a celebration. Help us spread the joy to these young people that they are cared about and loved. DONATE TODAY...
